A little bit of background:
The United Nations has established July 11th as World Population Day. This day is especially important because it brings together so many issues our global community faces in this moment such as poverty, reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, empowerment of women and young people, and sustainable development. Visit the United Nations Population Fund's website [link="http://www.unfpa.org/issues"] to learn more.
What is the contest?
We are accepting all digital media entries (writing, videos, audio, games, or mashups) from ymex.org members that fit the theme and could educate the public on the issues around World Population Day. These media entries must be youth-produced and fit into the ymex.org guidelines. Youth from any part of the world can enter - just make sure your media is in English language (or provides obvious English translations). Two prizes will be awarded to media created by members under 18 and one will go to any ymex member 18 or older.
Why would I enter this contest?
Amazon.com gift certificates will be awarded to the top three winners! You will enjoy the fame as you and your media are in the ymex.org spotlight. And best of all you will raise awareness on important issues & make a difference!
How do I enter the contest?
It's easy! All you have to do to enter is submit your media to ymex.org and include the tag "wpdcontestentry" on your final submission. All entries must be submitted to ymex.org by 11:59 pm GMT on Friday JULY 11, 2008.
Cast your vote!
If you don't have media that you want to submit to this contest, you can still help us choose the winners by viewing and rating media across the website with the globes rating system as well as commenting on media by answering the question "How did this media affect you?" The winners will be chosen based on comments, ratings, number of views, and the likelihood that the media piece, when shared far and wide, will raise awareness on population issues in a creative way.
Still have questions or run into any bugs along the way?
Send an email with any of your questions or comments to memberservices@ymex.org. We will respond as quickly as possible.
Also, we arere sorry if you run into any technical difficulties while working on ymex. If you let us know what happens by sending an email to broken@ymex.org, it will help us work out all the kinks. Thanks!
